    I’m also confident that they ran the questions by the White House. Just ask a colored woman to be nice and only ask the questions she is told must make the democrats look great. State ran media at its finest folks.

    Does anyone at this point not understand that this is how corporate news works?

    Including FOX, of course...

    Some people still watch corporate news, so I guess either some still dont understand ...or they prefer it that way.

    Puppet journalism for a puppet president. Makes sense

    You made a point that this is how things things work in corporate news. I’ll make the point that you should be able to figure out there is nothing else worthy of asking about from your post, it was the only point you made.

    It was a ridiculous and false assertion so I’m not surprised you’re playing around. You gonna go run and hide, or are you gonna start actually talking?

    You need me to explain to you how the bureaucracy of corporate structure doesnt allow for independent operation or deviation from a written plan?

    Are you kidding?

    Yeah, you claim zero journalist freedom to conduct their interviews and then go on to claim it should be common knowledge, you should have proof of your claim.

    Of course the network owners want to instruct the interviewers on what to say when interviewing the president. That's just common sense. A lose cannon could cost the network tones of money, as was the case with Tucker, O'Reilly and few others

    Your own article says it was ESPN. How did that translate to "state ran"?

    Lets try an example scenario. Suppose 'NewsCo' makes half of their advertising revenue selling 'DrugCo's products, and 'DrugCo's CEO comes on for an interview about controversy surrounding some adverse reactions associated with their new 'HairGro' product. Would you expect the interviewer to be allowed by the CEO of 'NewsCo' (whose primary responsibility is to protect shareholder profits) to ask questions that could lead to reduced sales of 'HairGro' and reduced ad revenue from 'DrugCo'?

    So your “proof” is a claim that all news outlets are owned by government and therefore those outlets are forced to have zero journalist freedom.

    this is very intriguing going down the rabbit hole of your conspiracy theory. Dark and strange, but interesting! Tell me more!

    Wow, great story. I don't watch much ESPN but I know who Sage is and I always liked her style. Some years back she commented about what she and Obama have in common, half white, half black. She made a simple and truthful statement, and it caused a ruckus because it was politically incorrect.

    We are so brainwashed by mainstream media....

    Is the Entertainment and Sports Programming Network a news network?

    Is their air talent expected to be journalists or just play them?

    ESPN is mainstream media. Yes, sports only on the superficial level, but as this story illustrates, ESPN advances any and every official narrative it is told to promote. It remains silent when told to by its puppet masters.

    Did she ask what flavor of ice cream he prefers?
    Because those are the sort of hardball questions that Joe gets served up.

    Ever watch Hannity interview Trump? He not only asks softball questions, but directs him how to answer as well.
